Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler discuss NFL Week 8 contest selections. Munaf Manji hosts the NFL Week 8 Contest Podcast on RJ Bell's Dream Preview with Mackenzie Rivers and Dave Essler, discussing ATS and Survivor contest picks. Munaf opens by reviewing Week 7 results: 204 Circus Survivor entries were eliminated, leaving 4,214 alive, and the top-five Circa Millions picks went 4-1. Mackenzie opens with his ATS pick, taking the Commanders +12.5 versus the Chiefs, citing overreaction to quarterback changes and favorable historical data for double-digit underdogs after losing as road favorites. Munaf agrees, saying Mariota can manage the game if turnovers are limited, while Dave supports them, noting key receivers' returns and the Chiefs' tough schedule ahead. Dave's pick is the Patriots -7 versus the Browns, backing New England's home advantage and Drake Maye's strong play since Week 1; he cites Cleveland's poor road record and rookie QB Dylan Gabriel's first hostile start. Munaf expands that the Browns are 1-11 straight up and 2-10 ATS on the road, losing by double digits frequently, while Mackenzie notes past “home-after-road-trip” data is now neutral. Munaf's pick is the 49ers +1.5 at Houston, calling it a “wrong team favored” game, criticizing the Texans' O-line, injury issues (notably Nico Collins), and inconsistency. Mackenzie admits concern about San Francisco's defense post-Bosa but likes their matchup versus Houston's weak front, and Dave agrees, joining the 49ers side. They promote Pregame.com contests, including Beat Dave Esler NBA and discounts using codes “touchdown20” for football access and “NBA75” for Mackenzie's NBA package. Transitioning to Survivor strategy, Munaf reviews Week 8's large favorites: Patriots, Bills, Eagles, Bengals, Falcons, Ravens, Colts (-14), and Chiefs (-12.5). Dave recommends Dallas as a gutsy Survivor pick, citing Denver's vulnerable defense and Dallas's offensive weapons, while acknowledging risks. Munaf supports that approach, also suggesting the 49ers and Falcons as alternate Survivor plays, emphasizing the need for strategic diversification instead of burning elite teams early. Mackenzie jokes that he never picks underdogs in Survivor but recalls Fezzik's accidental underdog win that clinched a contest. He mentions saving the Colts for Week 8, the largest favorite, while Dave argues underdogs can be valuable if used selectively. Munaf concludes that multiple entries allow experimentation with smaller favorites and strategic conservation of power teams for later weeks, reinforcing the depth of Survivor planning discussed in Mack and Dan's dedicated Survivor Pod. The episode ends with camaraderie among the hosts—Mackenzie, Dave, and Munaf—signing off with humor about dinner and their usual “good luck with your bets” closing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Week 8 fantasy football. The guys also preview TNF Vikings at Chargers. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji open their Week 8 fantasy football podcast on Straight Outta Vegas AM reflecting on the season's midpoint, recent fantasy highs, and successful betting calls from the prior week. They preview Thursday Night Football between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers, debating both sides' quarterback uncertainty—Carson Wentz starting while J.J. McCarthy heals—and the Chargers' inconsistency under Justin Herbert. Both favor the Chargers at roughly -3, leaning over 44.5 total points, expecting a potentially high-scoring matchup. They analyze fantasy angles: Wentz's passing volume, Justin Jefferson's steady yardage but reduced touchdowns, Jordan Addison's emergence, and Keenan Allen's revived reliability for Los Angeles. Munaf suggests live-betting Wentz's passing props and targeting overs on Jefferson and Herbert, while Rod backs Addison's over 54.5 receiving yards and Allen's 80.5 as safe plays. Discussion shifts to the Chargers' struggling backfield amid Hassan Haskins' injury and Herbert's reliance on passing; both agree Jordan Mason should remain the Vikings' RB1 even with Aaron Jones possibly returning. They emphasize benching Quentin Johnston due to target decline and highlight rookie tight end Aranda Gaston Munoz as a strong fantasy pickup after 164 yards and a touchdown, available in most leagues. Transitioning to fantasy flex debates, they recommend DeAndre Swift over Rhamondre Stevenson against Baltimore's softer rush defense, Hollywood Brown over Marvin Mims thanks to consistent red-zone usage from Mahomes, and Devonta Smith over Rome Odunze given Smith's rising targets with Hurts airing it out. They pick Deebo Samuel over Sterling Shepard, citing Samuel's explosiveness versus Shepard's shallow routes, and suggest Tamir Dyke as a sleeper WR if Calvin Ridley remains sidelined for Tennessee. Munaf projects a pass-heavy Titans game script behind Cam Ward, while Rod turns to running backs, backing Chicago's Kyle Monangai as a sneaky play over Nick Chubb, who's losing work to Woody Marks behind Houston's poor O-line. They close noting San Francisco's elite run defense and the Texans' bleak rushing outlook, agreeing Chubb may be droppable. Wrapping up, they highlight Pregame's NBA “Beat Dave Esler” contest, a $1,000 prize opportunity, and the “Touchdown20” promo for football all-access packages. Both hosts thank listeners, stress the fantasy season's tightening playoff race, and promise more betting and roster advice in next week's show, mixing friendly rivalry, humor, and practical fantasy takeaways for Week 8 managers aiming to stay profitable and playoff-bound.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers break down the opening games for the NBA season on Wednesday. Best bets as always. Munaf Manji opens the RJ Bell's Dream Preview NBA podcast, back from being under the weather and ready for the new season. With 13 games on Wednesday's slate, he and Mackenzie Rivers break down four key matchups, offering sides, totals, and best bets. They begin with the Cleveland Cavaliers at Madison Square Garden facing the New York Knicks. The Cavs are 1.5-point favorites with Darius Garland out, DeAndre Hunter questionable, and Max Strus recovering from foot surgery. The Knicks are missing Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson, while Karl-Anthony Towns is questionable with a quad strain. Mackenzie likes the Cavs, citing their improved offense, depth, and consistency, noting that even without Garland they're better structured and cohesive. He argues the Knicks' injury list and new coaching approach create uncertainty, favoring Cleveland's early-season form. Munaf agrees, expecting Donovan Mitchell to shine and dominate offensively, particularly with the Knicks lacking frontcourt strength. Both lean slightly toward the over at 227.5, anticipating a strong Cavs offensive showing. Next, they preview the 76ers visiting the Celtics, Boston favored by 2.5. With Paul George, Jared McCain, and Trenton Watford out for Philly and Jason Tatum sidelined for Boston, Mackenzie sees both teams uncertain but leans Sixers due to Joel Embiid's presence, citing his offseason conditioning and potential resurgence. Munaf shares optimism for Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, predicting a big game and slight Sixers edge against Boston's thin frontcourt. For the Spurs at Mavericks matchup, Dallas is -2.5, with key absences including De'Aaron Fox, Kelly Olynyk, and Jeremy Sochan for San Antonio and Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford, and Dante Exum for Dallas. Mackenzie leans Spurs, expecting Victor Wembanyama to impress against Anthony Davis, while acknowledging Dallas's experience advantage. They debate rookie Cooper Flagg's outlook, agreeing he's talented but unlikely to have a historically impactful rookie season, noting his youth and the rarity of immediate dominance. Munaf adds that Flaggs' Rookie of the Year odds are overvalued given his supporting cast. They touch on Dallas as a trendy Western Conference pick, with Mackenzie calling it “a hipster choice” but doubting their title chances given chemistry and reliance on a rookie. Munaf concurs, seeing potential but too many variables. Wrapping up, they promote the “Beat Dave Esler NBA Contest” at pregame.com, with $1,000 in prizes and a $75-off code (NBA75) for Mackenzie's full-season picks package. In best bets, Mackenzie doubles down on Cavaliers -1.5, emphasizing matchup dominance, cohesion, and depth. Munaf's best bet is the Chicago Bulls +4.5 vs. Detroit, citing preseason sharpness, defensive improvement, and Detroit's injuries and lack of reliable scoring beyond Cade Cunningham. Mackenzie agrees, backing dogs early-season trends. They close with light banter about gas prices and Munaf's Houston connections before signing off, urging listeners to subscribe and enjoy opening week of the NBA season.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA action to get you ready for season tip-off. Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers tip off the final preseason Dream Preview pod before the 2025-26 NBA season, reviewing win-total moves, roster news, and championship outlooks. They note minor market shifts after injuries: VanVleet's torn ACL drops Houston slightly, LeBron's sciatica lowers the Lakers from 48.5 to 46.5 wins, and Westbrook joins Sacramento on a one-year deal while Keegan Murray nurses an injury. Their power rankings open with Denver, Golden State, Houston, and Minnesota in a near tie, joined by the Cavs, Clippers, and Thunder. Munaf edges Denver over Golden State for balance and depth, while Mackenzie touts the Clippers' underrated strength versus market skepticism. Both put Oklahoma City and Cleveland atop the league, debating whether Giannis's future or trades could reshape the field. They agree Minnesota's Anthony Edwards is elite yet not proven as a true championship alpha; he scores big but lacks sustained playoff efficiency. The Rockets intrigue with Kevin Durant's arrival but lose VanVleet's stabilizing playmaking; Amen Thompson's defense and Reed Sheppard's shooting are swing factors. Mackenzie fears spacing issues; Munaf sees potential if Sheppard hits threes. They finalize top fives: Thunder, Cavs, Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors for Mack; Thunder, Cavs, Denver, Warriors, Knicks for Munaf. Title odds show Thunder +245, Nuggets 6-1, Cavs 7.5-1, Knicks 8.5-1, Rockets 11-1. Mack picks Thunder over Cavs; Munaf predicts Knicks emerge from the East, citing depth, health, and Brunson's leadership, while both name Golden State the best non-Thunder Western threat. They expect Knicks-Thunder Finals (12-1 exact) with Knicks as a value play at 30-1. In division futures, they call the Cavs locks in the Central, Magic favorites in the Southeast, Bulls as a win-total over sleeper, and Thunder runaway winners in the Northwest. Spurs, led by Wembanyama's ascendance, are their pick to challenge Houston in the Southwest; Dallas could surprise if Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis mesh. They project the Pacific race between Warriors (+185) and Clippers (+175), favoring Golden State's health and chemistry. Discussion closes on Jonathan Kuminga's two-year $48 M deal—potential trade chip more than core piece. Best bets: Mackenzie likes Milwaukee under 43.5 wins due to defensive decline and Giannis uncertainty; Munaf backs Memphis under 41.5 given injuries to Bane, Clark, and weak defense. They also praise Orlando's continuity, fade Atlanta overhype, and recommend Thunder futures as the smart chalk. Closing plugs remind listeners to grab Mackenzie's season package and enter Pregame's Beat Dave Esler contest for $500 prizes. Both hosts sign off energized for tip-off and weekly NBA coverage ahead.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 7 player props. Munaf Manji hosts RJ Bell's Dream Preview Week 7 Props episode with Sleepy J, recapping the Bengals-Steelers Thursday night shootout and Joe Flacco's resurgence before diving into their best player props. Both agree on quarterback Jaden Daniels over 1.5 passing touchdowns at -120 against Dallas, citing the Cowboys' busted coverages and a 54.5 total that implies heavy scoring. Sleepy's running back prop is Bijan Robinson over 121.5 rushing and receiving yards versus the 49ers, expecting a huge game with linebacker Fred Warner sidelined. Munaf counters with Quinshon Judkins over 85.5 rushing yards versus Miami, predicting a ground-heavy game due to bad weather and the Dolphins' porous run defense. For wide receivers, Sleepy likes Courtland Sutton over 56.5 receiving yards, noting his consistent target share and the Giants' tendency to surrender explosive plays. Munaf takes Jackson Smith-Njigba longest reception over 26.5 yards versus Houston, trusting his knack for separation and the Texans' vulnerable secondary. Sleepy's tight end play is Jets' Mason Taylor over 41.5 receiving yards against Carolina, projecting volume with Garrett Wilson likely out and the Panthers ranking worst versus tight ends. Munaf mirrors the logic with Buccaneers' Cade Otton over 41.5 yards versus Detroit, expecting elevated usage amid injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Touchdown props: Sleepy backs Saquon Barkley (-115) to score as the Eagles return to a run-first identity; Munaf picks Washington's Jakorian Merritt (-125) to find the end zone versus Dallas and sprinkles on CeeDee Lamb (+115) on the other side. Their agreed best bet: Texans QB CJ Stroud over 223.5 passing yards Monday night against Seattle, supported by recent trends showing QBs regularly topping this number versus the Seahawks, Seattle's strong run defense forcing Houston to throw, and injuries in Seattle's secondary. Sleepy notes Stroud's protection has improved, making Houston's passing attack viable. Both expect the Texans to stay competitive behind Stroud's arm. They wrap by promoting Pregame.com's coupon code “PROPS20” for $20 off a month of football all-access, highlighting hot streaks from Fezzik, Spartan, GoodFella, and others. Munaf closes by stressing the ongoing momentum of the NFL, NBA, and NHL seasons and thanking listeners for supporting the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Player prop betting for Week 6. RJ Bell's Dream Preview returned for NFL Week 6 with hosts Munaf Manji and SleepyJ diving into player prop bets, storylines, and betting insights. The episode opened with the duo reflecting on a surprising Thursday night upset where the Giants beat the Eagles. SleepyJ attributed the result to differing team mindsets—Philadelphia's lack of hunger versus New York's youthful energy and confidence. Munaf noted how rookie quarterback Jackson Dart and running back Cam Scadaboo have injected life into the Giants' offense, while Philadelphia's issues with offensive rhythm and underperforming stars like Saquon Barkley continue to raise concerns. Transitioning to their betting picks, SleepyJ began with a bold play on Browns rookie quarterback Dylan Gabriel to surpass 183.5 passing yards against a weak Steelers secondary, citing multiple mediocre quarterbacks who had already torched Pittsburgh for over 200 yards. Munaf supported the pick, agreeing that game script and defensive inefficiency favored the over. Munaf's first prop focused on Justin Herbert surpassing 19.5 rushing yards versus Miami, explaining that the Chargers' injuries on the offensive line and backfield would force Herbert to scramble more. SleepyJ then paired that with Hassan Haskins over 37.5 rushing yards, arguing that Los Angeles would emphasize the run against a historically bad Dolphins rush defense. The two also discussed Rico Dowdle of the Panthers, taking him to exceed 77.5 rushing yards versus his former team, the Cowboys, driven by motivation and a struggling Dallas defense. Their conversation then shifted to wide receivers. SleepyJ targeted Tetairoa McMillan of Carolina to go over 70.5 receiving yards, calling for a breakout performance against the Cowboys' porous pass defense. Munaf agreed, noting McMillan's consistent target share and developing chemistry with Bryce Young. Munaf's receiver pick was Travis Hunter of Jacksonville over 36.5 receiving yards against the Seahawks, expecting increased involvement due to Seattle's depleted secondary and growing rapport with Trevor Lawrence. SleepyJ added depth with tight end props—Darren Waller and Hunter Henry both to go over their yardage totals, plus a sleeper mention of Rams wideout Tutu Atwell against Baltimore's injured secondary. Munaf closed the section with Tucker Kraft of the Packers over 46.5 receiving yards, leaning on the Bengals' weakness versus tight ends. The hosts then moved to touchdown props: SleepyJ chose Kyren Williams of the Rams to score, citing heavy usage, while Munaf picked Michael Pittman Jr. at +150 odds, expecting him to thrive against Arizona's defense. For their joint best bet, they agreed on Josh Jacobs of Green Bay over 78.5 rushing yards versus the Bengals, predicting a high-volume workload against one of the league's softest run defenses. They wrapped by reminding listeners to use the Dime10 promo code at pregame.com for discounts and teased next week's episode, confident their deep-cut prop selections—though unconventional—offered significant betting value. The show mixed humor, sharp statistical insight, and situational analysis, showcasing both handicappers' commitment to finding undervalued players and exploiting weak defenses in Week 6's NFL slate.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for week 5. Munaf Manji (0:16 - 0:58) opened by welcoming listeners to the NFL Week 5 props edition, promising four picks each, touchdown props, and a final best bet. He highlighted last week's success going 3-1 and cashing Bo Nix's passing yards over, setting momentum for this week. SleepyJ (0:59 - 1:15) returned after a busy week, eager to deliver winners. Munaf (1:17 - 1:50) stressed their 3-1 record on best bets and shifted to quarterback props. SleepyJ (1:51 - 3:23) started with Tua Tagovailoa under 32.5 passing attempts, noting Miami's offense fares worse when Tua throws more, pointing to past losses tied to higher attempts. With Tyreek Hill out and Carolina better attacked on the ground, he expected “more HN, less Tua.” Munaf (3:23 - 6:51) agreed Miami should run more without Hill's deep threat. His QB prop was Baker Mayfield to throw an interception vs. Seattle, citing the Seahawks' ball-hawking defense that intercepted Purdy, Rodgers, and Murray twice each. He noted Mayfield threw three picks vs. Seattle in 2019 and another in 2023, making turnovers likely. SleepyJ (6:51 - 7:28) reinforced that without Mike Evans, Mayfield would struggle. Moving to running backs, SleepyJ (7:37 - 9:10) played Jordan Mason under 80.5 rushing + receiving yards against Cleveland, explaining the Browns' top-ranked run defense and Minnesota's depleted offensive line left Mason little chance. Munaf (9:10 - 12:37) supported this with stats: Browns allowing 60.5 rush yards per game and 2.29 per carry. His RB pick was Justice Hill over 14.5 receiving yards, noting Lamar Jackson's absence meant Cooper Rush would rely on checkdowns. Hill's snaps rose to 59% and he logged 41 yards last week, showing reliable production. SleepyJ (12:37 - 13:54) agreed, suggesting Hill could equal Henry's snaps. At wide receiver, SleepyJ (14:03 - 15:37) chose Garrett Wilson over 62.5 yards, citing Dallas' league-worst pass defense and Wilson's dominance with 38 team targets versus the next at six. Munaf (15:38 - 19:43) added Dallas allows 207 yards per game to WRs, worst in the NFL, and praised Wilson's opportunity. His WR pick was Courtland Sutton over 56.5 yards, pointing to chemistry with Bo Nix and recent big-yardage games. SleepyJ (19:44 - 21:17) highlighted Eagles rookie Quinyon Mitchell's struggles, making Sutton a strong matchup. At tight end, SleepyJ (21:28 - 23:49) doubled up with Trey McBride over 63.5 yards and Marvin Harrison Jr. over 50.5 yards for Arizona, arguing with RBs hurt, Kyler Murray would lean on them. Munaf (23:50 - 27:15) agreed, calling it a breakout spot. His TE pick was Sam LaPorta over 39.5 yards vs. Cincinnati, who allow 61 per game to TEs. SleepyJ (27:16 - 29:00) warned about blowout risk but leaned over. Munaf (29:00 - 30:14) emphasized Cincinnati's fragile psyche without Burrow. After promotions, SleepyJ (32:46 - 34:33) chose Alvin Kamara anytime TD vs. the Giants, noting his slump could rebound against a weak rush defense. Munaf (34:34 - 38:57) picked Quinton Johnson anytime TD for the Chargers, citing three scores in four games and Washington's poor defense. For their best bet, Munaf (38:57 - 40:41) gave Nico Collins over 72.5 yards vs. Baltimore, with back-to-back big games and Ravens' injury-riddled secondary. SleepyJ (40:41 - 40:40) added Collins could hit alt lines of 100+ easily, even 150 if the Ravens' holes were exposed. Munaf (40:41 - 41:38) confirmed Collins' alt yardage odds, locking in Texans WR Nico Collins over 72.5 as the official best bet. SleepyJ (41:39 - 42:02) closed by urging use of the promo code and predicting another winning week, while Munaf (42:02 - 42:19) signed off confident they'd improve to 4-1 on best bets.

Munaf Manji and Lonte Smith talk NFL Week 4 player props betting. [Munaf Manji] introduced props across positions. [Lonte Smith] began with Tua Tagovailoa over 243.5 yards Monday night, noting “he's averaged 254 against the Jets” and McDaniel will push him after Miami's 0-3 start. [Munaf Manji] agreed, adding urgency for Tua and coach jobs. His QB prop targeted Jordan Love's longest completion over 38.5, citing Dallas' defense surrendering multiple 40+ plays: “it just takes one pass.” [Lonte Smith] agreed, naming WR Golden as likely to hit. At RB, [Lonte Smith] chose Jameer Gibbs under 64.5, stressing Cleveland's rush defense at 57.3 yards allowed per game and Henry held to 11-for-23. [Munaf Manji] agreed, noting Browns allow only 2.25 yards per carry. His RB pick was Ashton Gentry over 63.5 vs Chicago, pointing to Bears' 5.34 YPC allowed, with Gibbs and Javonte Williams torching them. [Lonte Smith] called it Gentry's “coming out party.” At WR, [Lonte Smith] pushed Nico Collins over 71.5 yards, citing big games vs Tennessee's weak secondary and 8-for-104 last week. [Munaf Manji] doubled down, citing his home splits—70 yards and 16 TDs at home vs 54 and 4 on road—and Sneed's “who?” comment as bulletin-board fuel. At TE, [Lonte Smith] loved Hunter Henry over 40.5, calling it “my favorite play,” citing Panthers' struggles vs McBride and Strange, plus Henry's 23 team-leading targets and 8-for-90 line with 2 TDs. [Munaf Manji] agreed, saying the number is “a little low” and suggested ladder bets. They also mentioned Puka Nacua's steady 9+ targets weekly and Jackson Dart rushing overs at 34.5. For anytime TDs, [Lonte Smith] picked Woody Marks at +200, noting goal-line weakness in Tennessee and dual-threat usage. [Munaf Manji] picked Collins to score at +115, citing 14 TDs in 16 Houston home games, and Mahomes rushing TD at +340, warning it's “alarming” he leads KC in rushing but already has 2 TDs. Finally, both agreed the best bet is Bo Nix over 218.5 passing yards vs Cincinnati. [Munaf Manji] cited Bengals' weak pass defense: Flacco 290, Lawrence 271. He added Nix hit 219 and 3 TDs on them last year. [Lonte Smith] predicted “explosion” plays would push him over. They closed with consensus that Nix's passing over is week four's strongest prop, while Collins and Henry offer strong supporting plays. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rivers, Dave Essler and SleepyJ talk NFL contests for week 4. Munaf Manji (0:06 – 2:21) opened by welcoming listeners, recapping Week 3, and noting that Circa Survivor lost 3,154 entries with 13,811 remaining, each valued at $1,355. He emphasized that fading the top five most-selected teams has been profitable as they went 2-12-1 ATS at Westgate and 3-12 ATS at Circa, with one entry leading Circa Millions at 14-1. Sleepy J (5:45 – 8:53) chose the Titans +7 vs the Texans, saying “I think the Titans are slowly building. Cam Ward is looking a little bit better each and every game.” He highlighted Houston's lowest points per game, Tank Dell's absence, Mixon's struggles, and a weak offensive line. He argued Tennessee is hungrier and capable of an outright win. Munaf (8:53 – 10:08) agreed, calling the Texans' line inflated, citing receiver losses, Nick Chubb's decline, and predicting a fairer line closer to six. Dave Essler (10:09 – 10:43) also agreed, calling +7 too many points, though doubting Tennessee's ability to win outright. Mackenzie Rivers (10:52 – 12:06) picked Buccaneers +3.5 over the Eagles, arguing “The Eagles have underperformed all season. If you look at advanced stats, they could easily be one and two or oh and three.” He dismissed Philadelphia's late-game magic, noted Wirfs' return, Mayfield's strong play, and called the line exaggerated. Dave (13:27 – 16:29) agreed on Tampa, then picked the Broncos -7.5 over the Bengals, pointing to Denver's defense being top 10 in yards per play, number two in the red zone, and number one in TDs not allowed per game, while Cincinnati averaged only 49 rushing yards per game with Browning already turnover-prone. Munaf (16:30 – 17:12) backed this, citing Chase Brown's meager 93 yards on 2.0 YPC and Browning's five interceptions. Sleepy (17:14 – 19:17) hesitated on Denver due to the spread, saying “I would much rather pick a dead number game” but admitted Cincinnati's WRs could still threaten Denver's defense. Munaf (19:17 – 21:45) chose Steelers +2.5 vs Vikings in Dublin, pointing out Wentz faces new pressure, Pittsburgh's defense improved with T.J. Watt, and Jalen Warren emerged as a passing-game weapon. He predicted mistakes from Wentz would cost Minnesota. Sleepy (21:59 – 23:58) liked the Steelers too, stressing the importance of the 2.5 line in a low-total game, warning Wentz has struggled under pressure and “when you get a level-headed Aaron Rodgers, you don't get five turnovers.” Mackenzie (24:37 – 26:52) disagreed, backing Vikings, criticizing Rodgers' rankings (31st in PFF, 22nd in QBR), pointing to Pittsburgh's poor metrics, and saying “Favorites do well internationally.” Dave (27:07 – 27:50) sided with Mack, calling Pittsburgh's run game the second worst in the league and Rodgers incapable of carrying them. Survivor picks followed: Dave (30:12 – 32:01) took Patriots over Panthers, dismissing Carolina's win as turnover-driven, while Sleepy (32:06 – 35:42) also chose New England, adding, “How many chances are you going to get to really play New England? I think the chances to play them is this week.” Munaf (35:42 – 37:33) added Denver and possibly Texans as options but leaned Broncos. Mackenzie (37:34 – 38:50) favored Detroit, citing a profitable trend where underdogs who win as big dogs typically fail the next week, saying, “The Browns traveling to Detroit get smoked. And I think Carolina also is going to be a little bit overmatched in New England.” The show closed with humor, coupon codes, and Dave joking about being offered Fritos for Chase Brown, ending with optimism about continuing to deliver valuable picks Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 3 recap. Plus, the guys dive into MNF Ravens and Lions. Munaf Manji (0:14 – 1:13) opened by recapping Week 3, noting the Chiefs' 22–9 win over the Giants. He stressed New York's failure to score a touchdown and hinted at looming coaching and quarterback questions. The Chiefs covered –5.5, the total stayed under, and the game was defined by defense. Mackenzie Rivers (2:25 – 4:13) said, “the Chiefs defense now three games in a row has been pretty good,” but highlighted offensive struggles with Travis Kelce at just 26 yards and Hollywood Brown leading in receiving. He framed Kansas City's attack as steady but no longer explosive. Munaf (4:13 – 6:26) pointed to Isaiah Pacheco's 45 rushing yards on 10 carries and Taekwon Thornton's 71 yards and a touchdown. He noted Harrison Butker's missed kicks left four points on the field, yet argued Kansas City remains in control of the AFC West. Discussion shifted to the Giants (6:44 – 9:26). Fans called for Russell Wilson's benching, while Mackenzie criticized Jackson Dart's limited usage and compared Malik Nabers' inefficiency to Carmelo Anthony. Survivor contest carnage followed (9:33 – 12:16). Nearly 3,000 entries were eliminated after Packers and Falcons losses, leaving only 58 alive. Mackenzie mocked anyone who picked the Dolphins as “setting your money on fire.” Market moves (12:16 – 26:25) showed upgrades for the Browns (+1.5), Vikings (+1.5 with Wentz's 173 yards, 2 TDs), and Colts (+1.5 behind Jonathan Taylor's 102 yards and 3 TDs). Downgrades hit the Cowboys (–2), Packers, Bengals with Jake Browning's 5 picks, and Titans for a 3–17 ATS record. Munaf stressed Houston's NFL-worst 38 points scored in three games. The preview (27:13 – 35:18) focused on Lions vs. Ravens. Detroit was +4.5 after scoring 52 against Chicago, while Baltimore's defense allowed 4.67 yards per carry. Munaf liked Jared Goff over 35.5 pass attempts, expecting volume. Both leaned Detroit +4.5. Closing (35:18 – 43:34) included Pregame.com's $10-for-$50 bulk dollars promo, Mackenzie's reminder that five of the last seven games with totals over 53 involved Detroit and went over, and a cautious lean under. They ended with best bets on Detroit +4.5 and excitement for the NBA season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL Fantasy Football for NFL Week 3. NFL Fantasy Football Podcast – Week 3 NFL Fantasy Football Podcast - … [Rod Villagomez] (0:08 – 0:39) Rod sets the stage: “It feels like it's just started, and yet we're fully into this with injuries and all of these things happening.” This opening stresses how quickly the season has escalated, creating chaos for fantasy managers. [Munaf Manji] (0:40 – 1:57) Munaf expands: “You probably had Joe Burrow… Jaden Daniels… Brock Purdy… and now you're scrambling.” His analysis reflects the immediate fantasy impact of quarterback injuries, especially in superflex leagues, and sets up the episode's theme: making difficult replacement and flex decisions. [Rod Villagomez] (1:58 – 3:55) Rod shares personal experience: “I have lost Brock Purdy, Jaden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy in pretty much one of each of my fantasy rosters.” This illustrates the broader point—injuries are forcing managers into uncomfortable waiver moves like starting Daniel Jones. The implication: adaptability is now critical for survival in fantasy leagues. [Game Analysis & Stats] Munaf cites James Cook's breakout: “284 rushing yards through three games, four total touchdowns, 355 scrimmage yards.” Cook's consistency demonstrates the value of recognizing rising backs early. He also notes Josh Allen's “three passing touchdowns yesterday and no interceptions thus far.” On the Dolphins' side, Tua's regression is key: “He's thrown an interception in every game thus far… four interceptions total.” The takeaway is that fantasy managers should consider benching Tua until stability returns. [Flex Debates] Cade Otten vs. Kyle Pitts: Both agree Otten may deliver more short-term fantasy relevance because Pitts is overshadowed by Bijan Robinson and Drake London. Breece Hall vs. Michael Pittman: Rod and Munaf favor Pittman, citing Hall's lack of usage and Tampa Bay's elite run defense. Jordan Mason vs. Drake London: Both back Mason, especially with Aaron Jones on IR, making Mason the clear RB1. Tyler Allgeier vs. Rachaad White: Consensus leans Allgeier, as Atlanta's matchup with Carolina suggests heavy run volume. Keenan Allen vs. Xavier Worthy: Allen's “17 targets, 71% catch rate, two touchdowns” firmly positions him as a must-start over a questionable rookie. [DFS Lineup Build] (46:13 – 55:30) They construct a DraftKings lineup, spotlighting Dak Prescott, Jordan Mason, Alvin Kamara, Keenan Allen, CeeDee Lamb, Troy Franklin, Rome Odunze, Brock Bowers, and Falcons DST. The discussion emphasizes value hunting—“Jordan Mason at $5,400 is a great play”—and strategic stacking (e.g., Dak with CeeDee Lamb). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for Week 3. NFL Player Props – Week 3 [Opening Segment] (timestamps vary by section) The discussion centers on betting angles for Week 3 player props, with analysts pointing out favorable matchups and statistical trends. Direct quotes reveal a focus on efficiency and expected production. For example: “You have to look at how many times he's being targeted in the red zone, that's where the value comes in.” This emphasizes the importance of opportunity over pure yardage totals when evaluating props. [Quarterbacks] Attention is given to pass attempts and touchdowns. One speaker highlights: “Daniel Jones is averaging nearly 35 pass attempts per game, but the efficiency is what's holding him back.” This implies that volume alone does not guarantee fantasy or betting success—completion rates and game scripts matter. [Running Backs] Breece Hall is scrutinized for underwhelming production despite decent yards-per-carry averages. “He's sitting at 4.7 per carry, but without consistent usage, you can't back the over.” This underscores the risk of betting on backs whose offensive systems don't prioritize them. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason is framed as an emerging value: “He's looked better than Aaron Jones on limited touches, averaging 4.1 yards per carry.” This points to his growing role in the Vikings' backfield. [Wide Receivers & Tight Ends] The analysts debate Kyle Pitts versus Cade Otten, noting Pitts' “11 receptions on 13 targets, 96 yards” compared with Otten's potential boost due to Buccaneers' injuries. The commentary suggests Pitts remains a frustrating hold while Otten could be a buy-low play. For receivers, Keenan Allen is praised for “17 targets and two touchdowns already”, reinforcing his role as Justin Herbert's primary option. [Team-Level Context] Defenses are tied into betting strategy. The Buccaneers' run-stopping prowess—“allowing just 105 rushing yards total through two games”—is highlighted as a reason to fade certain running backs. Conversely, the Panthers' weak rush defense bolsters confidence in Atlanta's ground-heavy attack led by Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL betting for Week 2. The guys also discuss two MNF games. SOVAM Weekend Rewind and MNF PreviewOpening (0:15 – 1:02) Munaf Manji welcomed listeners to the Week 2 recap and double-MNF preview, joined by Mackenzie Rivers. He promised instant reactions, contest updates, and best bets. Munaf contrasted Week 1's fireworks with Week 2's defense-heavy slate: “It took about 57 minutes for us to see the first touchdown of the game from Mr. 1, Tyler Algier.” The Falcons beat the Vikings 22–6. Team stats: Falcons 326 yards vs Vikings 198; time of possession 36:32 to 23:28; turnovers 4–1 against Minnesota. Despite five red-zone trips, Atlanta settled mostly for field goals. Bijan Robinson shined, but rookie QB J.J. McCarthy faltered with sacks and giveaways. Mackenzie noted his new fatherhood could explain the struggles, but warned: “You do have to prove positively that you are an improvement over Sam Darnold.” In SERCA Survivor, most entries leaned on the Cardinals (5,169) and Ravens (4,420). Steelers and Vikings picks led to hundreds of eliminations. In Circa Millions, top sides (Cowboys, Jets, Broncos) all failed, with only the Eagles cashing. Mackenzie marveled at long field goals: “People kick 64-yarders in overtime… wow.” Mackenzie's top risers: Packers – line moved from -7 to -9, driven by defense and Micah Parsons. Bills – from -10.5 to -13 after dominating the Jets. Colts – Daniel Jones looked sharp, Taylor balanced the attack. Munaf agreed, adding the Lions, who dropped 52 on the Bears, proving Ben Johnson's departure didn't stall the offense. Mackenzie listed three fallers: Jets – QB Justin Fields left concussed; 3-of-11 for 25 yards. Bears – crushed despite Caleb Williams' 207 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT. Dolphins – porous defense, Tua's late INT sealed loss to Patriots. Munaf added Bengals, with Joe Burrow sidelined by a toe injury. Mackenzie said: “A 4.5-point move from Joe Burrow to Jake Browning… probably the end of the Zach Taylor era if it's three months.” Munaf admitted a blunder starting Justin Fields, who netted 3.8 points, but his roster (Taylor, Neighbors, Adams) carried him. Mackenzie joked his own fantasy team was “trash.” Texans -2.5, total 42.5. Injuries: Bucs missing Wirfs and Godwin, Texans without Mixon. Munaf stressed the Texans are 8-3 to the under as home favorites under DeMeco Ryans. Both leaned Tampa and under 42.5. Raiders +3.5, total 46.5. Mackenzie liked the Chargers' road edge and prep advantage. Munaf emphasized Justin Herbert's dominance in Vegas, topping 314 passing yards in all four appearances. His best bet: Herbert over 253.5 yards. Both suggested Chargers could cover alternate spreads like -13.5. Mackenzie: Clippers -8 vs Jazz in their NBA opener, expecting focus after off-court drama. Munaf: Justin Herbert over 253.5 yards vs Raiders. The hosts closed by thanking listeners, promoting Pregame.com's Touchdown25 code, and inviting feedback, including prop bet requests.

Munaf Manji, Mackenzie Rives and Dave Essler talk NFL contest picks for week 2. He argues the Jets “could have won” and notes Buffalo's heavy workload (78 offensive plays). With division games historically close, he sees value in the Jets. Munaf (12:06 – 13:24) – Agrees, adding Justin Fields' dual-threat potential and Breece Hall's role against Buffalo's shaky run defense. He stresses line shopping, noting DraftKings had Jets +7. McKenzie (13:24 – 15:24) – Supports Jets further, highlighting success rate: Jets ranked third-best in Week 1. He warns of historical ATS struggles for teams after miracle comebacks like Buffalo's. Consensus Pick – All three lock in the Jets. McKenzie Rivers (15:51 – 17:30) – Takes the Chargers -3.5 vs. Raiders, praising Justin Herbert's breakout game and offensive dominance. He dismisses concerns about travel from Brazil, saying rest days and comfort offset it. Munaf (17:31 – 18:52) – Agrees, even bought Herbert MVP futures. He views Raiders as vulnerable after travel from Foxborough. Dave (19:11 – 20:20) – Adds Chargers dominated Raiders last year, credits their underrated defense, and believes they can win the AFC West. Munaf Manji (20:21 – 23:22) – Picks the Cowboys -6 vs. Giants, citing Dak Prescott's history: 22-5 straight up vs. division opponents at home since 2016. 20-7 ATS (74.1%). 8-1 straight up vs. Giants at home, winning by 15.4 points on average. He doubts Russell Wilson can lead the Giants' offense, predicting Dallas rebounds strong. Dave (23:22 – 24:49) – Fully agrees, pointing out the Giants' defense allowed 220 rushing yards and committed penalties that masked their weakness. McKenzie (24:51 – 26:52) – Notes Dak was PFF's second-best QB in Week 1. Dallas showed top-10 offensive success despite losing to Philadelphia. He supports Cowboys strongly. Survivor Picks (30:04 – 34:58) Dave – Chooses Steelers, betting against Sam Darnold's inconsistency and praising Pittsburgh's home-field edge. Munaf – Chooses Chargers, preferring their divisional setup and momentum. McKenzie – Keeps his pick for a separate Survivor pod but warns Week 2 will bring “carnage.” Closing (35:36 – 38:44) The trio agree the Jets are their collective best bet for Week 2. Dave closes with thoughts on fading Carolina, noting Bryce Young's struggles and a porous Panthers run defense that allowed Jacksonville 200 rushing yards. Munaf echoes that Arizona may exploit Carolina's weakness with James Conner, Trey Benson, or Kyler Murray. Munaf wraps the show by thanking his co-hosts, reminding listeners of Pregame.com promotions, and urging them to enjoy the fast-moving NFL season. ✅ Final Consensus Best Bet: New York Jets +6.5 (with value at +7). ✅ Additional Contest Picks: Chargers -3.5, Cowboys -6. ✅ Survivor Selections: Steelers (Dave), Chargers (Munaf).

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL waiver wire moves. NFL Week 2 Waiver Wire Highlights Rod Villagomez (0:06 – 0:49) opened with Week 1's excitement, calling Josh Allen “a dangerous man” after a monster fantasy outing. Munaf Manji (0:50 – 2:26) noted sluggish early games but praised Sunday night football. He reminded that survivor pools had low Week 1 eliminations compared to prior years. Rod (2:26 – 3:47) stressed the need to hit waivers early, sharing Allen gave him 50 fantasy points yet he still lost. Munaf (3:48 – 5:03) highlighted injuries: George Kittle, Drake London, Evan Engram, Brock Bowers. He spotlighted Dylan Sampson (CLE): weak rushing (12 for 29) but stellar receiving (8 catches, 64 yards, 43% snaps). Rod (5:04 – 6:23) added Bijan Robinson picked up London's slack as a pass-catcher, while Jake Tonja could fill in for Kittle. Munaf (6:24 – 8:13) praised CLE's defense holding Burrow to 113 yds and Chase to 26, while Sampson looked like a waiver gem. Rod (8:14 – 10:52) hyped Daniel Jones (IND): 22/29, 272 yds, 1 TD, just 5% rostered. Munaf (10:53 – 13:16) added Jones' 2 rushing TDs, 87.6 QBR, noting he scored on every drive. Rod & Munaf (13:17 – 19:38) warned on Tua (7.3 pts), Darnold (5.4), Dak (7.8) and blasted Russell Wilson's 25.6 QBR, saying Jackson Dart could replace him soon.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 1 player props podcast. The NFL Player Props Podcast for Week 1 opens with Munaf Manji reintroducing the show and welcoming back co-host SleepyJ. After reflecting on last year's success, they dive directly into their picks, bringing a mix of analysis, history, and betting strategy designed to help listeners find winning positions across quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end props . At the quarterback spot, SleepyJ targets Patriots rookie Drake May to eclipse 214.5 passing yards. He cites May's solid rookie season, the addition of Stephon Diggs, and the Raiders' poor secondary as key factors. Munaf counters with a contrarian angle, backing Cam Ward under 192.5 passing yards in his NFL debut with Denver's elite defense looming. The contrast underscores their method of evaluating matchups through historical data and roster changes. Moving to running backs, SleepyJ highlights Jaguars back Tank Bigsby over 43.5 yards, projecting a breakout year with a favorable matchup against Carolina's porous run defense. Munaf selects Bucky Irving of Tampa Bay to break a run over 15.5 yards, citing his explosive track record and increased role due to wide receiver injuries. Together, they emphasize opportunity, usage, and defensive weakness as central handicapping factors. On receivers, SleepyJ leans on Steelers slot man Calvin Austin over 23.5 yards, predicting Aaron Rodgers' quick-release style will funnel targets his way. Munaf rides Jacksonville again, taking Brian Thomas Jr. over 74.5 yards, supported by his late-season surge and Carolina's ongoing struggles. This section showcases their focus on quarterback tendencies, depth chart shifts, and defensive matchups. Tight ends follow with SleepyJ playing Giants rookie Theo Johnson over 23.5 yards, linking Russell Wilson's historical reliance on tight ends to Johnson's breakout potential. Munaf builds on the Browns' passing game, touting David Njoku over 49.5 yards given Joe Flacco's chemistry with him in 2023. Their analysis highlights veteran quarterback tendencies and undervalued lines. The best bet for Week 1 ties these threads together: Joe Flacco over 241.5 passing yards against the Bengals. Both agree that Cleveland's passing attack matches well against Cincinnati's suspect defense and that Flacco's recent numbers support laddering yardage bets. They predict an up-tempo game script with plenty of volume, positioning Flacco as one of the week's most appealing prop plays. Interspersed throughout are plugs for Pregame.com promotions, including the Kickoff25 code, free contests, and a detailed newsletter packed with picks across NFL, college football, and even UFC. The hosts remind listeners that consistency, preparation, and disciplined play are essential to finding value across the board. In closing, they stress that the podcast will remain a weekly feature, giving bettors time to digest picks before kickoff. The tone mixes entertainment with sharp handicapping, balancing statistical depth with accessible explanations. By covering rookies, veterans, and team-specific matchups, the show establishes itself as a go-to source for player prop insights heading into Week 1 . This transcript captures a structured breakdown of betting value across every key offensive position, while reinforcing themes of matchup analysis, historical precedent, and market timing.
